Comments: I would like to get in touch with Gerald T Brown. I am trying to do research on my second cousin Jack G Keller, who was in the 304th, 2 Platoon. He was killed on l March 1945. It was wonderful to be able to read all the information Mr Brown had written about his uncle Hollis A Cloyd. I was very interested in the response from Earl F Huntoon, who stated he was near my cousin when he died. I would love to get a copy of the pictures he sent Mr Brown of Company G. Thank you for your time. Claudia Hunter huntercj@juno.com

Comments: My Uncle, PVT.ANTHONY SANDANO 20261667, a member of the 76th Inf. Div....possibly 417 Infantry Regiment, was KILLED IN ACTION on March 30th.
The research I did concluded that he died either in the towns of Schmitten or Dorfweil on March 30th.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Comments: My dad's discharge papers said he served with the 301 med. bn. co A. The only thing I remember him saying [about the war] is he drove a jeep one time for Ernie Pyle. My wife brought home a donated book from the library that Ernie wrote, called "Brave Men". In one of the final chapters called "hedge row fighting". Ernie mentioned an incident about coming upon a downed RAF pilot, this incident was shown in the picture "the longest day". The pilot was portrayed by actor Richard Burton. Well, my dad told me about that incident before he died, [long before I got the book] that's when he drove the jeep for Ernie, but Ernie didn't mention dad's name. Dad's name was Walter R. Hendrickson. If anyone remember's the 301 med. bn., would they please e mail me. Thanks

I was very touched while roaming through your site for the 76th. My stepfather, Daniel Pearson, was with the 76 division during WWII. Unfortunately, though my mom often asked him about his wartime experiences, he never would open up and talk w/her about his combat duty. She knew he was in the Battle of Ardennes, but nothing further. When they married in 195a I remember him as a painfully thin, nervous, reticent man who kept to himself a great deal. Although he became more outgoing and talkative with the passing of years, he would never share his war experiences w/us except to say than drinking & bathing from your helmet and generally living in conditions worse than those of most animals was not anything he wanted to relive by way of relating his story to someone else. Thank you for this site.
